Anderson, 49, later retweeted the celebratory picture the 45-year-old WikiLeaks founder posted of himself on his own account.

Earlier this year, she was more effusive about her support — and admiration — for Assange.

“Julian Assange is the most intelligent, interesting, and informed man in existence,” she wrote on her blog in March. “Yes- I think he’s quite sexy. He has tremendous strength and stamina- though vulnerable. Hard to imagine him that way – as capable as he is. But, he is up against the biggest super powers in the world.”

And in January, she sent a letter to then-President Barack Obama asking him to pardon Assange, while posting a picture of a ruffled Assange with a tiny kitten on his shoulder.

She had been a fixture coming and going from Assange’s stronghold in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, silently carting trays of plastic-wrapped homemade vegan delicacies.

Assange remains inside the embassy, where he has lived for almost five years after jumping bail in 2012. He has indicated worries of facing indictment in the US for his role at the helm of WikiLeaks.
